Manny Pacquiao probably has the biggest name in boxing in his generation. I grew up in a household where each fight is celebrated and watched in pay-per-view. Last March, I was lucky enough to have witnessed one of Pacman’s last trainings in General Santos City, his hometown, before he flew to Las Vegas. I would like to share to you some of the photos I took.

*Note: Only authorized persons were allowed to take photos of the sparring for confidentiality. Thus, the lack of it.

Pacman’s punches were really fast. It was very challenging to take his photos.
